The equipment bolsters the Government of Jamaica’s COVID-19 emergency response and directly aids activities that are vital for helping to stem the challenges.
The United States Government, on Tuesday, through the US Agency for International Development (USAID), delivered $13 million worth of critically needed hospital supplies as part of the third tranche of emergency equipment to the Ministry of Health and Wellness (MOHW), to support the Government of Jamaica’s (GOJ) response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The equipment is part of the USD $2 million in assistance USAID is providing to Jamaica to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The United States continues to support the government and people of Jamaica in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. As neighbours, partners, and friends we are committed to helping this nation by providing the technical assistance, training, capacity building, health systems strengthening, and life-saving diagnostics and treatment,” said US Chargé d'Affaires, John McIntyre.
